virgin 13b fd owner - netherlands

I'm dutch and new to mazda and rotary motors.

The wankel rotaries allways have been an interest to us and last week a jet pump, a speed boat and a mazda rx7 13b fd came on our path (in that order)

So an rx7 13b fd was dragged to the shop to put in front of a jet-drive to power a small 14ft speedboat . We bought a, imported from japan, motor with ecu and wiring harnas.

On this board I'm looking for all kind of info to make this project a succes.

We bought just a motor, ecu and wire loom, no car.
At the moment we are cutting up the wiring loom and fighting with wiring diagrams.

We un-dressed the 13b a lill more, we are looking for a simple twin turbo non sequential set up.



we have planned a nice intake manivolt with a large throttlebody and a sea-water cooled intercooler.

like this but home made



At the moment we are looking how we gonne do ignition and fuel injection, Orginal modded ecu or mega squirt?
Turbo's non sequential?
Ignition, stock or use mega squirt?
stock ignitor or bosch modules?
light weight flywheel?

Tnx for the welcome

I don't think it's a "build" motor, my idee is that it was a bone stock motor and the ecu was chipped by Redom wen we bought it.
The mod's you see in the posted pictures are all "home" done by our selfs (we are pro's building yachts so we do own machinery and weld aluminum etc.)
